The McLaren Artura, a high-performance hybrid car from the British supercar marque is all set to be launched on May 26 in Delhi. The supercar is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to an electric motor and has a top speed of 330 kmph. The car is expected to be priced above Rs 4 crore (ex-showroom).
The car features a kerb weight of 1498 kg owing to its platform
Visually, the Artura looks unmistakably like a McLaren, featuring the brand’s signature C-shaped headlamps along with horizontal taillamps that can be seen on many other models from the brand. The PHEV features a relatively low kerb weight of 1,498 kg due to its platform, which is on par with comparable supercars that do not have hybrid powertrains. The car is equipped with Pirelli Cyber Tyres which feature sensors that are in direct contact and transmit data faster than a conventional Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
